Neroli Oil is an essential oil with 26 known flavor compounds. The most distinctive molecule is nerolidol. It pairs most strongly with bergamot, sharing 18 flavor compounds. Neroli Oil appears in 79 recipes, most commonly in indian cuisine.
Compounds ranked by rarity — the higher the score, the more distinctive to this ingredient.
Of the ~226 molecules that drive perceived food aroma (Dunkel et al. 2014), Neroli Oil's inventory contains 11. Most of the other 15 compounds are below detection threshold.
Generalist = appears in >25% of foods (Maillard / fermentation products). Individualist = appears in <5% of foods (carries signature notes). Threshold values are in clean water — the actual perception threshold in a food matrix can differ substantially.
How Neroli Oil's 26 known compounds break down by aroma category. Percentages are of compounds with a known label.
6 of 26 are distinctive to neroli oil — they appear in under 10% of foods. The remainder are the background most foods share.
Ordered by measured impact in neroli oil — concentration against odour threshold where both are published, then by how distinctive the molecule is across the graph. Molecules measured here but not established as odorants sit below those that are.
Ranked by how often cooks actually use them together, across 453,403 recipes — the familiar answer first. Each pairing still carries its molecular score and shared-compound count; only the ORDER differs. Counts cover every characterised molecule the two ingredients have in common, not only the aroma-active ones, so they can exceed an ingredient’s aroma-compound count.
